POPE ASKS UNIVERSAL PEACE
IN EASTER MESSAGE
New York, April 22. In an Easter
message addressed to the American
people through the United Press, his
holiness, Pope Benedict XV., today
transmitted a new plea for peace.
Without referring to the German
American crisis, the pontiff made the
Eastertide the occasion for an appeal
to all nations now neutral to refrain
from entering the world war. He
urged anew that the nations at war
lay down their arms.
The pope's message, cabled
through the medium of Cardinal
Gasparri, sec'y of state, follows:
(Copyright, 1916, by United Press.)
(Copyrighted in Great Britain.)
"The United Press, New York:
" 'Peace be with you' these sweet
words the risen Saviour spoke to the 1
apostles, the Holy Father re-addresses
to all men.
"May the nations at peace pre
serve it, thanking God for so great a
blessing.
"May those at war, presently, lay
ing down the sword, end4;he slaugh
ter dishonoring Europe and human
ity." MERELY COMMENT
